Apple Juice????

I used to be a HUGE soda drinker. But when I got pregnant I CRAVED water and Apple Juice. Now that I am nursing I am Thursty 24/7 So I drink my weight in Water and Apple Juice.

I was wondering if Apple Juice effects babys BM when nursing. Let me rephrase that, If I drink a lot of apple juice, does it go through to my son and cause watery BMs or is just because he is so young? (He is 3 weeks and 2 days)

Re: Apple Juice????

I don't know about the apple juice affecting his BMs, but I know that it can cause gas. Right after I gave birth, all I wanted was apple juice for some reason and I drank a lot of it while I was still in the bed... the next day, my LO had a lot of gas issues and the nurses said it could be from the juice...

I'm sure it also had a lot to do with being "new", but just sharing what the nurses said. HTH!

Re: Apple Juice????

Ok thanks ladies!

Yes he is Gassy but not too bad. He gets gas drops with each feeding and its not so bad. I think most of that is because he fefused to burp for the first weeks. Now He is a burping machine and the gas is way better. But what male isn't gassy? lol
